Our law degrees include the LLB as well as a range of BAs which offer you the opportunity to combine core legal subjects with non-law modules.
Teaching at the School of Law is primarily by lecture and tutorials, with some modules offering discussion groups and seminars. You will also have the opportunity to take part in our Skillegal Programme, which offers a series of workshops covering presentation, communication and negotiation skills.

We also have a variety of study abroad options. Students on the BA or LLB Law degree courses can apply to transfer to one of our four-year law degree programmes.
The practice is to transfer a select number of students who have successfully completed their first year of study. If you are successful, you will spend your third year studying at an overseas university. The courses available are:
All our undergraduate law degrees allow exemption from the academic stage of qualification as a Barrister. Graduates wishing to qualify as barristers may proceed directly to the vocational stage of legal training - the Bar Training Course.
Students who begin their course in 2022, or thereafter, and who wish to become a solicitor must undertake the Solicitors Qualifying Examination.
There are no exemptions conferred on students who have an undergraduate law degree. A number of institutions offer courses preparing students to pass the SQE. Some of these institutions guarantee a place for Nottingham graduates with at least a 2:2 degree.
Law graduates from the University of Nottingham may be eligible to practise overseas including in Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Singapore, where admission to the Bar (or equivalent) can be attained subject to meeting the jurisdictions' conditions.
